Very fine work! I am enjoying seeing this model take shape.
The Roland airplanes with their plywood fuselages were quite graceful looking. Your model made me think of Walter Musciano's control line flying version of the C.II Walfisch that appeared in American Modeler in 1962 (Oz : Roland C.II Walfisch plan - free download). Don

I visited the RAF Museum in north London a few weekends ago and they have an Albatros replica there in the WW1 hanger with a natural wood finish. The display also explained how a major problem for the Germans through the war was a shortage of hardwoods used in aircraft manufacture, because they were imported from countries they were at war with or else the naval blockades prevented them being acquired. This is the reason, for example, why they often have varigated propellors, as it was found to be satisfactory to alternate layers of quality hardwood with other woods to make the good stuff go further. It's also why many machines were made of plywood.

Flawless build so far, and straight as an arrow. Fine work.
